My first experience with chickpea flour fritters started when I lived in Malaysia. At one point I had a Pakistani flatmate and one day she asked me a puzzling question, “Where can I buy gram flour?” I looked at her uncomprehendingly, “What kind of flour?” I stammered. “Gram flour!” She replied, looking at me incredulously as though I were an alien from outer space. It took some Googling and research for me to understand what she wanted was chickpea flour. I had never used that ingredient in my life. Anyway, sometime later she found a store that sold chickpea flour and made these amazing fritters. This recipe is inspired by those fritters my former flatmate once made.

Now, this recipe is perfectly vegan, so if you don’t eat meat, this is for you. It’s also very satisfying, high protein and is perfect for a snack or even a main course. You can also modify it according to your taste. In my recipe, I added canned sweet corn, grated carrots, grated zucchini, and spring onions. However, you can add any vegetables you have on hand. You can also modify the spices according to taste. I find that these fritters go great with a sweet-sour chilli sauce; you can use Thai sweet chilli sauce or something equivalent. I find that great recipes are the ones you can customize according to your mood and whatever ingredients you have available. The two ingredients you definitely can’t do without are chickpea flour and water. That’s about it.
